CHICAGO, ILL, June ll.-GOvernment crop
report of yesterday wss supplemented by
further bad crop report news to day This,
together with large charters of yesterday for
shipment, and strOng!California markets, made
frmer markets. July opened at s51sc against
close last night az 5Ic. and sold to S6zSC in the
first few minutes trading During the first
nour July held steadily around 55sGS6c. June
opened at 92c and so d up to 925sC in the same
time. Trading became very quiet after the
first little short ut the opening. Shortly
after II O'Clock q crowd of "tallers on"
who usually try to get even on the market dur
ing the last half of Saturdays session began to
sell anttle wheat. 1t was soon found that the
entire crowd were long, and scramble 10 sell
followed, which almost resulted IN a panic and
sent prices for active option for July of nearly
3 cents The usual indispositiOn to carry any
trades open over Sunday had marked July
down to 50 sc before the panic commenced, but
when fair quantities of wheat were offered for
sale prices slid downward very rapidly from
SIS &c down to S415c. The decline was continuous
and fluctuations were fully &c each time. At
s41zc here was halt, and prices advanced 10
S42<c. When the next decline took place July
went dow to So &c, but rallied at S324C ana be
came measursbly steady around S51G. All of
the other options declined In same ratio except
June. This option was hardly thought of, and
the general ruin in other months only brought
q decline of &c to June. II declined from 927lc
to SIG The third break in July wheat oc.
CURED less than half hour before the board
closed. July held fairly steady around 49,
for some time, but as on two previous breaks
there was no support to the market, and
prices again broke off. The last break sent
July down to S2<c, o. nearly &c below the
prices prevailing at the opening OF the board.
just before the close the clique began to buy,
and prices ran up rapidly from S2IsC to S354c.
The close was firm at that price. Some 45G cars
of wheat were inspected to day and vessel
room for 81, 100 was engaged. Corn ruled fairly
active, with feeling decidedly weaker. There
was considerable long corn on the market,
which, with the decline IN wheat had de-
pressing effect. The market opened at about
the closing figures of yesterday was
steady for time and then ruled weak, declin-
ing with slight fluctuations and closed i405Sc
lower than yesterday; July opened at 3S}z a
3S5S c and closed at 1856 G3s14c. Lard WAS weak
with very little business, and the pretty free
offerings caused decline OF pa G5c; July sold
at So 6l}z G6 I257, and closed at bottom figures.
short ribs were moderately active but unset
tied the opening was frmer and ~ S5c higher
owing TO better prices for hogs, the demand
was light 1t the advance but liberal selling pro-
duced weaker feeling and prices de-
mand which caused 1t to fall l0c later, last
sales being at a net advance of 215c over yester
day. July opened at 81 20, sold 10 s. 5T5z, and
closed at the opening figure. Leading futures
